obama is? on one hand has putin gained some leverage in these other issues, these other geopolitical issues by hanging on to snowden or does the u.s. have any leverage at all they could use against him? >> the u.s. hasn't had much leverage so far, and you made the right point earlier on when you said that in fact one of the biggest questions that we face right now is that we haven't had very much progress on the arms control issues, on syria, on iran with the russians. the fact that the asylum was given for only one year, on one hand tells you that the russians aren't entirely sure they want to be stuck with mr. snowden, but it also tells you that mr. putin may well want to use the renewal of the asylum as a point of negotiation or leverage going forward with president obama. perhaps to trade that off for something else he really wants, particularly in the area of missile defense. whether or not president obama will deal on mr. snowden's fate is not clear. you'll remember that early on in this

>> i think that jay carney knows that obama, the presidential candidate running in 2008 may very well have been a supporter of snowden telling the truth about a national state of security out of control. and now president obama sitting in the oval office has a different set of ideas of protecting secrets. but the bottom line is, the white house and obama have been too slow on delivering really on the government and the transparency that they have talked about. you know, you have dick durbin saying to president obama saying that the fica court was rigged and was completely a blank check for the establishment. when you have dick durbin making that kind of comment means the white house is in fragile territory. >> steve clemens, thank you for joining us tonight. >>> thank you. >>> coming up, sister simone is in the rewrite tonight teaching the republicans and paul ryan's budget committee a very important lesson. >>> and later today is the first day of same-sex marriage being legal in minnesota, in rhode island. the rhode island legislator, one of them pushing for it to be legal, will join
